Glucksman Ireland House presents
Screening and discussion of The Forgotten Maggies
Thursday, October 1st at 7pm
at NYU's Cantor Film Center
36 East 8th Street between Broadway and University Place
The Forgotten Maggies, a stark and intense documentary, tells the stories of Kathleen Legg, Maureen O'Sullivan, Mary King and Mary Collins; four women marked by forced placement in Ireland's Magdalene laundries.
Filmmaker Steven O'Riordan will be joined by Mari Steed, of Justice for Magdalenes, to discuss the origin and making of the documentary and the current effort to urge the Irish government to correct the omission of these women from the 2002 Redress Act.
